We at Heavystoned would like to thank you for the invitation to this small and fine festival. The two days were organized and carried out with so much heart and professionalism that we were close to tears several times, whether from the high quality of the sound, the lighting or the bands performing. We couldn't get enough of the Liquid Lights, the handmade light show by Phönix Retro Light, as well as Liquid Lisa & Projector Pearson, couldn't get enough of the perfectly balanced sound for each band and couldn't get enough of the bands. That's why we're publishing so many photos of the bands and the extraordinary lighting. New friends joined the friends with new stories and views. Thanks must also go to the Pasobau company, which made the carpentry shop available as a festival site, which also explains the location and number of toilets, which are more suitable for a carpentry shop than for the 200 daily visitors.

Pyramid opened the festival and set the bar very high in terms of variety, dynamics and show right from the start. The instrumental rock, which was very reminiscent of better instrumental passages by Color Haze, was never boring for a second. Some idea or a different sound came around the corner every 1-2 minutes and took you to new musical parallel worlds. Shane on guitar is undoubtedly the band's visual figurehead, but without the tight rhythm section, you can't shine even as a frontman. A great start to the festival.

Clustersun moved in a small intersection of post-rock, shoegaze, industrial, punk and heavy psych. Added to this was the drummer and bassist's sparse and reserved singing, which perfectly complemented the wall of sound of the leading bass and the multifaceted guitar sounds. The music went straight forward, you could dance, swing and bang and then buy the vinyl afterwards. Great concert.

The Sonic Dawn from Denmark were a time capsule of the 60s; their outfits matched their grenrock, protopunk, blues, psychedelic and whatever else the band mixed into their explosive musical cocktail. Not really our kind of music, but the band's authenticity and intensity was impressive.

Mr Bison from Cecina was the band I was very curious about after their last album. I was excited to see whether the band would be able to bring their complex song structures and different sounds, including the Jon Anderson (Yes)-esque voice, to the stage so perfectly live. And they did. You could tell how well the band rehearsed they were and how much fun they were having on stage. The songs had a few more degrees of heaviness live, so that you could say that Yes and Iron Maiden had met for a session.

Giöbia have been one of our absolute favorite bands since their performance at Stoned from the Underground 2017. As diehard Hawkwind fans, you can't get away from the band from Milan. The spectrum of different sounds and instruments is astonishing, especially since it is created by a four-piece band. As the concert went on, we found the volume to be a bit too high and the dry ice a bit too much, so that´s why we watched the band from the forecourt. P.S.: I have never heard a better version of Hawkwind's "Silvermachine".

The Slovakian band, or rather part of the collective Sycek?, takes me back to the years 1989 to 1991, when I bought around 100 albums of this music; Sonic Youth, 11th Dream Day, Yo la Tengo, Mazzy Star, Dead Moon, to name just a few. The band didn't really touch me because the compositions were consistently predictable and had a fairly one-dimensional vocals and sound. That was probably the intention, because the additional part of the collective then performed the same thing under the name Sycek, just with 5 more members.

Sound of Smoke brought a great deal of energy to the stage with a magnificent female voice, keyboards and saxophone. The previous head music took a break and people could dance, funk and swing.

Our friend William Hertz is responsible for this short report. Karkara were the winners of the evening because their energetic mixture of high energy rock, space rock, mixed with oriental influences, fit organically into the song structures. This band is worth remembering, alongside Slift they are THE band from Toulouse.

Empty Full Space closed the festival with slow, psychedelic, wafting sounds that were combined with each other in a way that was too predictable, so that there were more spectators outside the building than with the band. This was certainly due to the numerous impressions and also a certain tiredness of the predominantly older visitors.

A successful festival, both in terms of the bands, the sound, the lighting and the location. Since we don't drink beer and don't eat anything in the evening, we can't say anything about the food. But the amount of gyros consumed speaks volumes, as does the beer. We hope that the festival will take place in the same location again next year.
